Other events
In May 2016, we hosted the annual public Mangoletsi Lectures, by Rae Langton (Cambridge) on the theme of 'Doing and Undoing Things with Words'. We have also organised two major international conferences, ‘The Moral Significance of Intentions’ (June 2014) and ‘Themes from the Ethics of Bernard Williams’ (July 2009). The latter conference led to a volume of articles, Luck, Value, and Commitment: Themes from the Ethics of Bernard Williams (ed. Ulrike Heuer and Gerald Lang, Oxford University Press 2012).
In addition to the ongoing research seminar, we have also organised or supported numerous other workshops and conferences:
